I recently got a 5gb iPod (Mac) for Christmas. There's only one thing that's been bothering me-- I've been into digital music on on the PC for awhile, and as far as i knew, 128kbps was near-CD quality. After reading the forums, it seems that most are using 192kbps. However, i encoded a song at the highest iTunes possible 320kbps and i can't tell a difference, and that was running a pair of nice, albeit old, headphones through an amp. Should i bump up my encoding rate to 160kbps? 192 would be too high as i have to keep some headroom on the 5gb drive for future music, as my library is only getting larger. Thanks! BTW, first time post.
